44.44% Conservative and 55.56% Liberal
Provides no feedback on what they do with your age, startupness, or favorite language. No anchors to know what liberal vs conservative means. Bolded portion of questions can be redefined in the body, e.g. #2, #6. Not a useful experience/waste of time.
- mkrecny 14y agoI'm not sure (yet) what I'll do with your age etc. Re: 'no anchors to know what liberal vs conservative means' the original Steve Yegge essay is linked to on the front page. https://plus.google.com/u/0/110981030061712822816/posts/KaSKeg4vQtz https://plus.google.com/u/0/110981030061712822816/posts/KaSK...
- parfe 14y agoYeah, that's worthless. http://www.politicalcompass.org/charts/us2012.php http://www.politicalcompass.org/charts/us2012.php That is anchoring. If you aren't showing "Java coders fall here, Python coders fall here. Lispers here." Call your survey a work in progress, but it's pointless for anyone to currently fill out as it doesn't show meaningful feedback.
- mkrecny 14y agoBasically what you're saying is that any survey that's in the early stages of data collection is worthless. I think that x% conservative y% liberal is 'meaningful feedback' to some people (https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/sweaxis.org https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/sweaxis.org)
